CAMERA Fragment Recruitment Viewer

<p>This tool graphically displays the results of a BLASTN sequence comparison of an available microbial genome against selected sequence read datasets. The example shown displays the abundance and distribution of Synechococcus spp. genome sequence in the selected sampling sites. The Synechococcus spp. genome coordinates are shown on the <i>x</i>-axis, while the <i>y</i>-axis shows the percent identity scores of the alignment to the selected Sargasso Sea and GOS sequence reads. The viewer incorporates metadata associated with the reads, allowing a user to quickly identify data of interest for further examination. The utility of the plot is to examine the biogeography and genomic variation of abundant microbes when a close reference genome exists.</p

Genome project coverage of bacterial and archaeal type strains.

<p>From a total of approximately 11,000 bacterial and archaeal type strains, 3,285 (30%) have a publicly known genome project.</p

Interactive map based on the NamesforLife (N4L) taxonomic information of the type strains.

<p>Each leaf represents a type strain. Colors denote strains with or without genome projects. Lighter colored nodes denote higher taxonomic ranks. Branch lengths are not meaningful.</p
